ASIA, featuring the original line-up of Geoff Downes (keyboards), Steve Howe (guitar), Carl Palmer (drums) and John Wetton (lead vocal, bass), has been forced to cancel the 30th Anniversary UK Tour, due to drummer Carl Palmer coming down with a severe case of E. coli. Tickets are refundable from the point of purchase.

A list of the cancelled dates is as follow:

December
15 – Tavistock, UK – The Wharf
16 – Holmfirth, UK – Picturedrome
17 – Edinburgh, Scotland – Queen’s Hall
19 – Salisbury, UK – City Hall
20 – Birmingham, UK – Town Hall
21 – Manchester, UK – Royal Northern College of Music
22 – London, UK – O2 Shepherds Bush Empire

Frontiers Records released Asia’s newest live package, Resonance, on November 23rd in Europe and November 27th in North America. Recorded on May 4th, 2010 in Basel, Switzerland, this new Asia live 2CD / DVD captures the band in front of an ecstatic audience during one of the shows on the Omega World Tour.

Filmed with 18 HD cameras, this live recording is truly a rewarding experience for all Asia fans. After the polished Japanese DVD Fantasia, Asia released Spirit Of The Night from the Cambridge Festival two years later. Spirit was a high-energy, end-of festival document. This is Asia resonating the Z7 on an Omega night in Central Europe: “Asia live on the road, in-your face and for your pleasure,” says John Wetton.

The set list features songs from their first two reunion albums – Phoenix and Omega – along with a selection of the classics from the 1982 debut album and their 1983 follow-up Alpha. The recording is a historical document of where the band was at the time and a snapshot of their musicianship, camaraderie and passion.

This live 2CD / DVD is released exclusively in a lavish digipak edition and is an irreplaceable companion to the studio album.
